B
Correct answer
Explanation
It is a nobel gas. Nobel gases experience london dispersion force. The London dispersion force is the weakest intermolecular force. The London dispersion force is a temporary attractive force that results when the electrons in two adjacent atoms occupy positions that make the atoms form temporary dipoles. This force is sometimes called an induced dipole-induced dipole attraction. London forces are the attractive forces that cause nonpolar substances to condense to liquids and to freeze into solids when the temperature is lowered sufficiently.
A
Correct answer
Explanation
The atmosphere consists of 78% nitrogen.
A
Correct answer

Inert gases
C
Correct answer
Explanation
The earth's atmosphere near the surface is composed primarily of Nitrogen and Oxygen. Together, the two comprise about 99% of the gas in the atmosphere. Percentage of Nitrogen in the atmosphere is about 78.084% which is the maximum amount.

ammonia only
-
urea only
-
uric acid only
-
both 'a' and 'c'
A
Correct answer
Explanation
The main nitrogenous waste of Hydra is ammonia. Hydra has no organ of excretion, therefore, excretion of waste nitrogenous matter occurs directly by diffusion through cell membrane.
